Vert-Skating-Forum

: That looks like a rad ramp but scary to me now. Hey I saw some kids on inlines drop into the vert bowl by sitting there, pushing themselves forward and tucking their shoulders down to the knee. This seems safer/less scary to start on big vert with the pool coping sticking out on the deep bowls. Would it work easy on rollersk8s too?

This works on roller skates, too. The safest way to get into a ramp is to sit on the coping and then do a backward roll-in. When doing it forwards, you can still hit your head if you don't get your weight in front of you. When doing it backwards, you can always drop on your knee pads. Easy.
